Horrabridge is a charming riverside village located within beautiful Dartmoor National Park in Devon. The River Walkham, well known for its salmon fishing, flows vigorously under the village bridge, which is said to be the oldest in West Devon. An excellent base for a holiday in Devon, Horrabridge has a combination of olde-worlde charm and modern facilities, including a good pub near the river and a selection of small shops. There are many excellent walks starting from the village, taking you up onto Dartmoor and providing you with glorious views of the surrounding fields and hills where sheep and Dartmoor ponies gently graze. The market town of Tavistock, the main town of Dartmoor's western moor, is an exceptionally attractive town, owing much to fine Victorian architecture and its picturesque location on the banks of the River Tavy. There is no shortage of shops and cafes in Tavistock, plus the town is home to the purpose built Pannier Market - a must for every visitor.

Sat nav was our saviour in finding the cottage and we congratulated ourselves in doing so. The owners were adjacent and were very hospitable and helpful. The wet weather prevented us investigating the immediate area at first but improved allowing us to visit Tavistock, the Moors and nearby National Trust places of interest nearby.All worthwhile seeing in relaxing settings with of course the mandatory tearooms.
